Cheering and encouraging this kind of crap is how we got 6 months of Infestor/Broodlord in Wings of Liberty. The same will happen again if we continue to support results that are based around obviously flawed game design. I wasn't happy when Terrans were winning abusing the 1-1-1, I wasn't happy when Terrans were abusing mass Snipe in the late game even when it was MVP that was doing it. This to me is no different. How you win matters. I can agree with this, as I hated watching random foreign Zergs destroy everyone during the days of Infestor/BL. I do think there needs to be a more vocal part of the community letting Blizzard know that they're not happy with certain aspects of the game design, and I can understand why you think people cheering for this sort of play is hurting the advancement of SC2's balance. That said, I still feel like PiG is playing better than Crank at this moment - at least in that last game. In this case I don't see why cheering for someone who's playing better is necessarily a bad thing - people aren't necessarily cheering on the style of play, but rather the skill of the play as a whole.

Stop putting people in boxes. Congratulations? No one said those were the only types of people watching the game. Get over yourself. | ||

Still uber sad to see viOLet out. Haven't seen him play in forever. :< | ||

I'm not trying to trash PiG as a player, he's just doing what he feels he must to win, I've never blamed players for it. It's just that at the end of the day, these kinds of victories seem hollow and we as spectators should be careful that we don't send the wrong message to Blizzard that we actually enjoy watching foreigners beat Koreans more than we enjoy watching good Starcraft. That's all. | ||

You can probably count SeleCT as American That's what I do *bald eagle in front of american flag with "I'm Proud to be an American" playing in the background.* | ||

A lot of people wouldn't mind putting both SeleCT and viOLet as American. That change would make it +3/-5, for an overall of -2. | ||

That's all. of course, i feel the same way for the most part. but the discussion seemed like it was getting volatile when people started up with the whole foreigner angle. no one is to blame specifically, but the debate sort of went off on a tangent and some tempers got a little hotter than they probably needed to. everyone can enjoy (or not enjoy) the game however they wish and post whatever respectful opinions they have! | ||

Limit I agree, that said plenty of us have been plenty vocal about this sort of thing. Blizzard just choose to do things despite many warnings of certain problems that will arise. Sadly it's only through actual mass whining and no substantive posting that things seem to change, often for the worse | ||

Also, I hope immortal sentry all ins come back into style... why did they ever stop? | ||
